Retronauts Podcast

Retronauts is 1UP's self-described "podcast for old people," an hour-long weekly journey into gaming's storied past. Topics span the gamut from the golden age of the '80s arcade to finding historical context for current releases. The common thread that binds them all, however, is our love for games of every era, regardless of platform, bit count or origin. Regular features include the Retro Roundup, a look at the week's classic gaming news, Virtual Selection, a chance to highlight old favorites for rerelease, and Soundtrack of the Week. Whether you listen to us at your desk or on the go, the important thing is that we help open your eyes to another facet of your favorite hobby's history. Also, begin your week with a five-minute look at a different facet of video game history with Retronauts: Bonus Stage.
